PAC-12 Football Power Rankings – Week Ending 10/10

Pac-12 football
UCLA stars Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Jake Bobo, and Zach Charbonnet.

10. Arizona State Sun Devils (2-4, 1-2)

Last Game: ASU 42 – Washington 32

Everyone who saw this result coming say, “aye.” Crickets. The Sun Devils showed Washington and the rest of the Pac-12 that they might be down but are far from out.

Starting quarterback Emory Jones went down early in the game. Trenton Bourguet came off the bench to spark his team with 3 touchdown passes.

ASU scored more points on Saturday than they combined for in the two previous weeks (45-38).

This Week: Bye

After all Arizona State has been through this year, the Sun Devils have an extra week to relish their big win.

9. Arizona Wildcats (3-3, 1-2)

Last Game: Oregon 49 – Arizona 22

Arizona was the Ducks’ latest victim. Their defense had few answers for Oregon’s high-powered offense led by Bo Nix.

The Cats’ offense had its moments. Running backs Jonah Coleman and DJ Williams combined for 139 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries. Each man had a run of at least 40 yards.

This Week: at Washington, 2:30 PM – Pac-12 Networks

No doubt Washington is in a funk after losing two straight. But this is still the Washington Huskies. Arizona will face a team on a mission that plays very well in front of their home fans.

It doesn’t look promising. Then again, that’s what everyone thought before Washington lost to ASU.

8. California Golden Bears (3–2, 1-1)

Last Game: WSU 28 – California 9 (10/1)

California was on a bye last Saturday. Two weeks ago, the Bears had 311 yards of total offense against Washington State. But 30% of it came on one 90-yard drive. And over half of that was the result of a 49-yard pass from Jack Plummer to Jeremiah Hunter.

This Week: at Colorado, 11:00 AM – Pac-12 Networks

Justin Wilcox made a ton of changes to his starting group. The bye gave him an extra week to get the Bears ready. Look for Jaydn Ott to run wild on Colorado’s defense.

The offensive line must do a better job of protecting Plummer.
